title: Communication, anesthesia and bonding procedures in the pediatric practice.
abstract: Bonding unfilled and filled composites to teeth has been used in dentistry for more than 20 years, and procedures have improved with each new generation of development and users. The light-cured materials have given us access to new, different, and better methods that increase our productivity and shorten the time needed to complete many procedures. When dealing with children, the materials and methods are important, but never as important as the communications needed to develop patients as advocates of good oral health.
